Brought home another camper yesterday. 1960 Fan. Made in Wakarusa, IN. Its in a lot better shape than the Scotty I have. Starting the clean up and thrash to get it ready for Bowling Green. Now i have two old campers, but just couldn't pass this one up. Plugged it in last night, all the inside lights work, all the glass is there, screens are there, and all the floors are solid.

great trailer you picked up
but i gotta tell ya - thank you for using those wheels on you r truck - if i recall those are cast cp -200 - you dont see them on many old trucks at all . i have a polished set just waitin to go on .
nothing against other newer wheels at all but to me the Amer. racing cp-200 wheel is a very classic look - it took me a long time to find them since for years they were not being made . the ''daisy'' or 'coke '' bottle spokes - just make it work
v nice truck you have best of luck with your new toy and thanks for showin us a nice truck with great wheels

Daze57 · 05-15-2013, 04:58 PM

p.s ya really need to get them center caps bk on lol

Pop's C-10 · 05-15-2013, 05:09 PM

that is sweet

**mr48chev** · 05-15-2013, 05:38 PM

That's a nice looking little trailer. I've gone and looked at probably a dozen of them and they are usually so beat up on the outside or rotted on the inside that they aren't worth buying.

OrrieG · 05-15-2013, 07:19 PM

Nice trailer, I heard Newfisher will polish it for you, he likes to do that....

TrixR4Kids · 05-15-2013, 07:27 PM

Huge old camper fan, nice find..

D-man313 · 05-15-2013, 07:49 PM

Thanks for all the kind words guys. This one is alot better start to be able to take it to the hot rod reunion this year. We cleaned it all out this morning, aired it out, going to fix some small stuff and enjoy this summer.

Newfisher- when you get done with yours, let me know, ill send this one over to ya.

Im building a 48 burb and have been thinking about getting a camper like that Looks good

sweet70beast · 05-17-2013, 09:54 AM

I have only seen 1 camp trailer and 1 boat and trailer at carshows so far but I wouldn't be surprised to start more of them start showing up. I bought this last year, my aunt bought it new. It is a 1952 Hanson built in California.
